BBVA rolls out global data plaform to Mexico and Colombia
BBVA has taken a significant step forward in its data-driven transformation strategy with the successful implementation of ADA, its global data platform, in Mexico and Colombia. 0 This strategic advance seeks to improve and accelerate the bank's ability to offer personalized and relevant products and services to its customers. The cloud-based data platform, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies, enables the centralized consolidation of analytical processes, ensures real-time access to data, and scales the use of artificial intelligence. ADA completed its migration in both countries last May and has achieved remarkable adoption: 1,144 daily sessions in Mexico and 210 in Colombia, matching European usage levels from the first weeks after launch. This confirms BBVA's global implementation model works. Process execution has stayed above 98 percent stable, proving ADA's robust design and mature implementation. ADA anchors BBVA's data strategy. Its cloud-native design has slashed information access times from days to under ten minutes through automated workflows and centralized governance. This efficiency has cut costs by up to 40 percent compared with traditional platforms, optimizing the bank's resources. ADA now manages over 8.4 petabytes of active data and 30,000 tables, running more than 100,000 processes daily. This infrastructure serves 6,500 advanced users—data scientists and engineers—plus over 40,000 day-to-day BBVA users across seven countries on two continents. Each migration strengthens ADA's role in driving operational efficiency, regulatory agility, and innovation, helping the bank respond faster to customer needs while protecting their data through robust security. ADA's rollout marks a turning point in BBVA's artificial intelligence strategy. Key to this has been integrating the SageMaker AI environment, which scales up advanced AI models without disrupting data teams' daily work. This standardized environment does more than boost technical efficiency: it enables consistent creation, training, and deployment of predictive models across all geographies, fostering global collaboration and solution reuse that directly improves customer experience. Through this approach, BBVA is building truly operational AI that better personalizes products and anticipates needs more accurately. To enhance data-driven decisions, Amazon QuickSight has been available in all European Sandbox environments for two months. This tool gives analysts and business teams real-time visualization and self-service analytics, enabling faster decisions with more accessible, actionable data aligned to the bank's priorities. With ADA, BBVA has moved from fragmented, local infrastructure to a global cloud solution. The Banker's Technology Awards 2025 recognized ADA for its transformative impact, while Global Finance named it among the financial sector's most innovative initiatives. With ADA, BBVA has moved from fragmented, local infrastructure to a global cloud solution powered by Amazon Web Services. This enables real-time operations and scales advanced analytics and machine learning across the organization, while unlocking unprecedented strategic capabilities for data scientists, analysts, and business teams in seven countries. BBVA aims to create a unique, flexible, cross-functional platform that anticipates customer needs, accelerates innovation, and builds a more agile, secure, and intelligent banking model.
